Nick's style is warm, candid, and empathetic, with a touch of humor. He works with clients from a diverse background suffering from a variety of challenges, and includes adults, adolescents and couples in his practice. He has a particular interest in the effects of trauma on human development, especially Complex Trauma, which can be defined as long-term exposure to neglect, abuse and other adverse experiences. Nick's ultimate goal is to help clients gain greater self-understanding, knowledge and skills to live richer, more rewarding lives. He believes this is best accomplished over time through collaboration in an open and supportive environment. The core of Nick's professional work is a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship—this alliance has been consistently identified within outcome research as a key factor of therapy success.
